I refer to Rebecca West, whose astonishing Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (1940) on Yugoslavia is one of the great works of travel-political reflection – international thought to appear between the wars and highly praised by contemporaries. However, at over 1100 pages and with its meandering style, creating a short excerpt would be a daunting task.

Their reflections are parallel in many respects, especially concerning their conviction that despite the varying economic models, industrialisation and the mechanisation of labour would in general positively influence the social well-being in their native countries, even though it was producing miserable living conditions for the lowest social stratum in the West.

{"title":"East–West Encounters in Early Bulgarian Socialism: Dimitar Blagoev’s Theoretical Legacy in Three International Contexts","authors":"Boris Popivanov","doi":"10.1080/23801883.2023.2258464","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23801883.2023.2258464","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe problem of external influences is of primary importance for making sense of early Bulgarian socialism. The establishment of the first Marxist party in the Balkans, in a country with underdeveloped capitalism and almost no industrial proletariat requires explanations which are usually found in literature around the East–West (Russia-Europe) axis. This article proposes to analyse the theoretical legacy of Dimitar Blagoev (1856–1924), the founder of Bulgarian socialism, against the background of three intertwining discursive contexts: Western Marxism, Russian Narodnichestvo, and Russian Marxism. By doing this, it becomes possible to outline more clearly the basic features of Blagoev’s discourse on socialism as well as identify the ways in which external idea transfers are used actively to legitimise Blagoev’s own position. Making use of a discourse-historical approach and discursive genealogies, the research establishes Blagoev’s strategies of monopolising the Bulgarian socialist discourse through reappropriation of topics and recontextualisation of concepts from other socialist discources. The article argues that this monopolisation helped Blagoev overcome, for a time, the dilemmas and controversies in the Bulgarian Marxist left, to the benefit of his ideological authority.KEYWORDS: Balkan MarxismBulgariaBulgarian socialismDimitar BlagoevRussian socialismSecond International Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 For a brief explanation of this consensus, see Popivanov, Changing Images, 62–64.2 See, for instance, Mishkova, “Domesticating Modernity.”3 It is explicitly stated by researchers. See Dimou, Entangled paths, 421; Njagulov, “Early Socialism,” 227–8.4 Rothschild, Communist Party of Bulgaria, 1.5 Including, recently, by Njagulov, “Early Socialism,” 204.6 With a certain generalisation, this is, for instance, the conception of Pundeff, “Marxism in Bulgaria.”7 See Dimou, Entangled paths, 19. Interestingly, this pathbreaking study also offers arguments in the opposite, ‘Western’ direction. The Bulgarian Marxist party is particularly credited with being the first Balkan one to adopt the Erfurt programme and accepting the efficiency of the German Social Democracy as a model. Ibid., 158, 176.8 Avramov, Istorija, 79–83.9 There is a partial exception in Vettes’ work, which emphasises the difference in conditions between Russia and Bulgaria. According to his assessment, in Russia in that period an organised proletariat was already to be observed and an alliance between the workers and the peasants could be justified without diluting the importance of the workers, while in Bulgaria this was not possible. See Vettes, “The 1903 Schism.”10 Todorova, Lost World of Socialists, 25–34.11 Ibid., 34.12 The summary of the DHA research methodology to be used in this article is adapted from Reisigl, “Discourse-Historical Approach,” and Reisigl and Wodak, “Discourse Historical Approach.”13 See, for inst","PeriodicalId":36896,"journal":{"name":"Global Intellectual History","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134960289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
